Responding
to strong feed enzyme sales growth and increased demand for Near-Infrared
Reflectance (NIR) solutions, AB Vista and sister company Aunir have restructured
and expanded their teams to better serve customers across Asia.
The
changes will see M.Y. Tan move from AB Vista to Aunir, leveraging his years of experience in Asia’s animal feed sector to expand the provision of the
company’s NIR spectroscopy solutions across the region. Mr Tan joined AB Vista
in 2007, and has worked as Regional Sales Director Asia Pacific for the past
seven years.
AB Vista’s current
Asia Pacific activities have been into two separate regions – North Asia and
Southeast Asia – following exceptional sales growth during recent years, and two
new members of staff have been appointed to support both current business
activity and expected future expansion.
The
new role of Technical Sales Director North Asia will be filled by Dr Yingjun (Y.J.)
Ru, who will be based in Singapore and will oversee all AB Vista’s commercial
activities in Korea, Japan and the increasingly important market of China.
Dr
Ru joins AB Vista from Danisco Animal Nutrition (DuPont), having previously
worked as a research scientist in pig nutrition at the South Australia Research
and Development Institute. Many years of experience in the utilisation of feed
enzymes and betaine in China and North Asia is backed by a PhD from the
University of Adelaide.
AB
Vista’s business in the remainder of the region will be looked after by Ms Glenda
Leong, who fills the second new position as Business Director Southeast Asia.
Ms
Leong takes up her new position after three years as a business unit director
in Asia for feed ingredients business Provimi, part of the Cargill group of
companies. Previous work includes a sales management role with Adisseo, and
business development and company director experience outside the animal feed
industry.
“After
AB Vista’s phenomenal growth in Asia Pacific, the region continues to be an extremely
important part of our plans to expand sales globally,” explains Ari Kiviniemi,
AB Vista’s Global Sales Director. “We are delighted to appoint Dr Ru and
Ms Leong as heads of the new sales regions to make sure that we can continue
meeting the ever increasing demand for high quality technical feed ingredients,
and know that Mr Tan’s move to Aunir will help achieve the same for Aunir’s NIR
solutions.”
